Live Raid Announcement

Blizzard has posted a blog this morning about the Live Raid! This year's raid will be in the new Highmaul instance on Heroic (Mists of Pandaria Normal) difficulty - tune in to see how these top guilds fare against content they've only beaten in Beta!

Blizzard

The ongoing battle between two raiding behemoths continues! This year’s BlizzCon World of Warcraft Live Raid will once again pit Horde guild Method (EU-Twisting Nether) against Alliance guild Midwinter (US-Sargeras) in a battle for PvE supremacy. These two teams of exceptionally skilled raiders will be testing their mettle in the unreleased of Warlords of Draenor Raid dungeon Highmaul on Heroic difficulty. What could possibly go wrong?

Each Raid team will have a trio of representatives on stage—and when the battle begins, they’ll need every ounce of your support wherever you’re watching BlizzCon from.

Representing Midwinter on stage will be:

Gondlem – Windwalker Monk

Slootbag – Protection Paladin

Kaowa – Assassination Rogue

Representing Method on stage will be:

Blatty – Arcane Mage

Rogerbrown – Marksmanship Hunter

Treckie – Protection Paladin

World of Warcraft lead encounter designer Ion “Watcher” Hazzikostas will be joined on stage by community manager Josh “Lore” Allen to provide commentary on the Live Raid.

We use Twitter because it's the easiest social media to register an account on, and the one that has the best tools for us to manage giveaways :)

Of course, if you don't want to use it that's your prerogative, there's lots of other giveaways on the site that don't need it!

Great.... I never use Twitter... And sorry I don't activate Twitter just for this. I spend enough real money for WoW now. It is pitty that there is no other way to get those pets. Not that it should be easy to get them. But paying for a virtual visit to an event like this, I rather be there in real life. That is more fun.

It is the same like all day long busy on your mobile phone, because you cannot go away for 5 minutes from the net. If I want to read something I read a full article not 2 lines (or less). I like to read WoWhead, and I will go do that.

Well, I have set up Twitter just to do this giveaway, it took me all of 5 minutes, I now see all the Wowhead tweets of news and competitions and I might win a Grommloc!

So instead of being sad and complaining like my other commenter friends I will just say.

THANK YOU WOW HEAD!

Yeah, not keen on twitter. I get my news from you guys direct, but I guess that's not enough.

Longeria, you know Twitter doesn't cost you anything extra to use, right? Just making sure, since you said you already spend enough money on WoW.

It's simple to sign up for, and you never have to touch it again if you want to.

I think the main gripe is the fact the giveaway doesn't need to be done on Twitter and it's just being done to increase followers on that platform. I personally do not like Twitter, but I'm not going to complain about the platform... I just won't enter it.

For those complaining about Twitter, contests are not “free”. The contest host gets something out of it — in this case, additional awareness of, and followers for, their Twitter stream. That’s the price of a “ticket” to enter the contest. And a price I consider cheap.

If you are pissed about the Twitter thing, please, please, pleeeease, don't enter the contest!It raises our chances to win! *grins*(And Wowhead, keep the good work! Loving the site and the giveawys and such! ;) )

All done with the Twitter stuff! Thanks for the giveaway! *crosses fingers* I want Grommloc!
